to-day upon the noticeable tendency of men iu charge of some big business organizations to deal in absolute fairness | and honesty with the public cardinal gib bons declared that the country would benefit greatly if the proper christian spirit was manifested in the management of all business enterprises great or small he believes in the accurate publicity in the affairs of corporations the confidence of the people he said is necessary for the real success of any business and the surest way to gain this confidence 1s to deal honestly tell the absolute truth hide nothing and convince the people that they are getting a square deal there is to-day apparent iu commercial life a distressing condition the desire to avoid payment of houest debts by various business subterfuges some apply for re ceiverships some transfer their property to their wives and others adopt various means to avoid payment of their debts urges truthful publicity justice is a virtue which prompts us to pay what we owe to our neighbors it is the foundation stone of social order and of business interests for if we did not be lieve that men had a sense of justice we would have no confidence in their integrity and without this confidence commercial life would be paralyzed truthful publicity of the conditions of big service public corporations in which thousands upon thousands of worthy peo ple are financially interested and of all corporations is necessary before the full confidence of the people may be gained honesty at oberammergau business men should not be christians only when they say their prayers but all the time business conditions here differ irreatly from jhoi-e i countries where christianity is not obst-'ii'ed by commercial ism look at oberaiiiniergau and the peo ple of the
